1. An assembly for aiding field use of an endoscopic probe, the assembly comprising:
a housing assembly comprising:
a tubular conduit for receiving the endoscopic probe; and
a plug coupled to the tubular conduit along a distal end of the tubular conduit, the plug having a passage along a longitudinal axis via which the tubular conduit passes through, and a first additional passage along the longitudinal axis through which a first additional tubular conduit passes through; and
a holder for the housing assembly, the holder comprising:
a handle for supporting at least a portion of the tubular conduit;
a lockable sleeve, disposed coaxially at a proximal end of the handle, for securing the portion of the tubular conduit within the handle;
a pre-configured arm coupled to the handle at a distal end of the handle for facilitating an exploration of a pre-determined quadrant of an oral cavity with an endoscope probe assembly; and
an explorer coupled to the pre-configured arm at a distal end of the pre-configured arm, the explorer having a plug receiver and an end part at a distal end of the plug receiver, the plug receiver adapted to couple with the plug, the plug receiver having an opening along a longitudinal axis via which, upon coupling with the plug, the tubular conduit passes through and into an axial channel of the end part.
